I like the idea of the bipolar led. That’s great with the +\- 5 vdc RSC yellow wire.

That's what I did for my control panel, and I really like it. The mini-toggle switches for the turnouts are mounted on the bottom left of the panel, and numbered to correspond to the turnouts. The bipolar LED's are mounted at the turnout panel locations. I mounted the track-block ON/OFF toggle switches at the tracks, and was afraid that mounting the turnout toggle switches at that location would clutter the panel. And yes, the toggle switches for the turnouts are Momentary-ON - OFF Momentary ON. Note that I have seven LED's left to install, and six are installed on the layout and readily visible from the control station. Depending on the turnout location, some have LED's both at the turnout on the layout, and on the control panel.
